One thing I really like about Saigon is the ability some people, in this case the elderly, have to make me smile about things that under other circumstances I would find strange.
How can you not smile looking at this dignified, chic man on his motorbike, in his PJs & slippers in the middle of the day, on one of the busiest streets in the city? (parked right in front of the recently opened Chanel boutique).
One elderly man in our alley way stays in his PJs all day long many days. :) He walks around the neighborhood and down the block to have his phổ in the morning, sitting outside, without a care in the world that most people walking or driving by him are in their suits for work. We've even seen him attending community meetings in his PJs. I think if saw a bunch of middle aged people walking around from 7am until 11pm in their pajamas everyday, I wouldn't have the same reaction but the elderly get a free pass.
